Woman Awakens

Intruder Flees

December 17, 1986

POMPANO BEACH -- A would-be burglar apparently was frightened off by the voice of a woman who awakened and noticed a figure standing outside the screen door in the 2500 block of Northeast 23rd Street about 5:15 a.m. Friday, police said.

When the residents went to sleep, the sliding glass door had been open and the screen door was closed, but unlocked, police said.
